jamming on my Maverick

[Jan Oelbrandt]

Hi.
Finally got to post some vids on YT, jamming away on my Sho Bud Maverick. I've been playing a couple of years now, and would appreciate forum member's comments, just to get some feedback on my playing. (on this forum if technical, general comments on the YT channel please)

You Play good Dude, good thing you do not have a left knee lever left.

[Jan Oelbrandt]

Robbie, what you mean, good thing, left knee lever? would that get in the way of...?

[CrowBear Schmitt]

i think he means, you would be even more prolific w: that lever Jan
it gives an 3 rd degree inversion
(3 frets above the root postion or 0 position)
string 4 & 8 raise a half step w: that lever
add pedal A & you go from a dom7 to the root tone

[Bobby Burns]

My favorite was the second one. Thats a pretty bluesy groove you've gat going on. What is the flat top? Is it something like a Regal or a May-Bell? It looks and sounds pretty cool.

[Robbie Crabtree]

Jan, what I meant was when you use your peddles you move your left leg way left, if you had a knee lever left to left you would be engaging it. You play good, I did not mean any disrespect. Keep it up.

[Jan Oelbrandt]

Yeah Bobby, the flattop is indeed a May Bell. Should be from around 1940, but I'm not sure. The top is far from flat (due to string tension and maybe some past abuse) it has a big kinda bubble right next to the soundhole. But It still rocks... those old acoustics have something special about them.
